In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. (2) INVENTORIES Inventories, stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market, consist of: JUNE 30 December 31 1996 1995 ----------- ----------- Components and subassemblies $ 3,899,152 $ 4,471,969 Work in process 1,343,547 1,498,588 Finished goods 5,143,541 4,563,595 ----------- ----------- $10,386,240 $10,534,152 =========== =========== (3) COMMON STOCK EQUIVALENTS For the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, net income per common and common equivalent share was determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares, primarily resulting from dilutive stock options and warrants, were converted using the treasury stock method. (4) COMMON EQUITY PUT OPTION In connection with a severance agreement entered into with a former officer and director during the fourth quarter of 1995, the Company had an obligation to repurchase up to 280,000 shares of its common stock on the last trading day of calendar year 1997 for a price of $8.50 per share (see notes to the consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference to the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995). During the second quarter of 1996, the former officer and director sold on the open market 182,600 common shares which were subject to the repurchase obligation. As a result, at June 30, 1996, the Company's remaining obligation with respect to the common equity put option is for the potential repurchase of up to 97,400 shares of its common stock. 6 The obligation will expire if the former officer and director sells the remaining shares on the open market prior to the last trading day of calendar year 1997, or, subject to certain exceptions, if for any five consecutive trading days prior to the last trading day of calendar year 1997, the closing market price for the Company's common stock equals or exceeds $8.50 per share. The Company will adjust compensation expense in future periods as the market price of its common stock increases or decreases until such time as the Company has no remaining obligation to repurchase stock from the former officer and director. For the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, compensation expense has been reduced by $672,000 and $987,000, respectively, due to the increase in the market price of the Company's common stock, and termination of a portion of the Company's obligation under the common equity put option. 7 Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations RESULTS OF OPERATIONS As an aid to understanding the Company's operating results, the following table sets forth certain information derived from the Consolidated Statements of Income of the Company. (All amounts are expressed as a percentage of total revenue except gross profit which is expressed as a percentage of the related revenue.) Three months ended Six months ended June 30 June 30 ----------------------- --------------------- 1996 1995 1996 1995 -------- -------- -------- -------- REVENUE: Product sales 78.2% 79.9% 77.9% 78.9% Service fees 21.8 20.1 22.1 21.1 ----- ----- ----- ----- Total revenue 100.0 100.0 100.0 100.0 ----- ----- ----- ----- GROSS PROFIT: Product sales 63.3 71.8 64.1 71.9 Service fees 25.1 22.1 22.8 19.5 ----- ----- ----- ----- Total gross profit 54.9 61.8 55.0 60.8 ----- ----- ----- ----- OPERATING EXPENSES: Sales and marketing 29.4 25.9 31.8 25.2 Engineering and development 12.5 13.0 13.3 13.8 General and administrative 8.0 7.1 8.0 7.2 ----- ----- ----- ----- Total operating expenses 49.9 46.0 53.1 46.2 ----- ----- ----- ----- INCOME FROM OPERATIONS 5.0 15.8 1.9 14.6 Other income 2.1 2.2 2.0 2.1 ----- ----- ----- ----- INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAXES 7.1 18.0 3.9 16.7 Provision for income taxes (2.5) (6.8) (1.4) (6.4) ----- ----- ----- ----- NET INCOME 4.6% 11.2% 2.5% 10.3% ===== ===== ===== ===== REVENUE The Company's revenue primarily includes the sale and support of its Channelink products for the high performance networking market and licensing, sale and support of its Brixton hardware and software products for the enterprise-wide application access and interoperability market. Revenue increased 17% and 18% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996, respectively, when compared to the same periods of 1995. Revenue from the Company's Channelink product line totaled $22.8 million and $41.9 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996, respectively, increases of 22% and 23%, respectively, when compared to 1995. Revenue from the Company's Brixton product line totaled $2.7 million and $5.9 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996, which are comparable to 1995 revenue levels from the Brixton product line. 8 Revenue from product sales totaled $20.0 million and $37.3 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996, respectively, increases of 15% and 17%, respectively, when compared to the same periods of 1995. The increase in revenue from product sales primarily resulted from the sale of the Company's channel connectivity controller to two new OEM customers. During the first quarter of 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to provide its channel connectivity controller to IBM. The agreement, which runs through the end of 1996, is expected to provide approximately $7 million of product and service revenue to the Company. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996, the Company recognized product and service revenue under this agreement of approximately $3.2 million and $4.9 million, respectively. Revenue from service fees, which primarily reflects contracted maintenance services, increased 27% and 24% during the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, when compared to the same periods of 1995. This increase primarily resulted from the growing installed base of customers using the Company's Channelink and Brixton products. The Company derived approximately 27% of its revenue from international customers for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996, as compared to 24% and 28%, respectively, for the same periods of 1995. The percentage of revenue derived from international customers for any given period is subject to fluctuation because of the variable timing of sizable orders from customers both internationally and in North America. Throughout most of 1995, the Company attempted to use its existing Channelink sales force to sell Brixton products. The Company has determined that this approach diverted sales focus away from the Company's traditional Channelink market and was not an effective approach for the sale of Brixton products. As a result, the Company has hired additional sales and marketing personnel to focus exclusively on market opportunities for Brixton products and services through direct sales and alternate distribution channels. In addition, the Company has hired additional pre-sales and post-sales systems engineers dedicated to the support of the Brixton product line. While the Company believes that the markets for traditional data center consolidation applications for its Channelink products has matured, it believes that additional network-based storage applications should result in continuing demand for its Channelink products. In addition, the Company will continue to pursue the sale of its Channelink products through alternate distribution channels. The levels of Channelink revenue reported by the Company in any given period have been, and will continue to be impacted by, among other things, the timing of the introduction of new products and applications by IBM and others. Revenue from the Brixton product line for the three months ended June 30, 1996 was lower than expected given the new investments that have been made by the Company in the engineering, sales and marketing of these products. The Company believes that the improved product function associated with new Brixton products released in 1995, the anticipated introduction of its new integrated gateway product in the second half of 1996, and the increase in the number of employees dedicated to the marketing and sale of the Brixton products, should result in increased Brixton revenue in 1996. 9 The Company believes service fees for its Channelink and Brixton product lines will grow in 1996 at approximately the same rate as the installed base of these products. The Company expects to continue to see quarter-to-quarter fluctuations in revenue. The timing of sizable orders, because of their relative impact on total quarterly revenue, may contribute to such fluctuations. As a result of the Company's strategy to hire a separate sales and marketing organization dedicated exclusively to the Brixton market, the introduction of the Company's new integrated gateway product, the introduction of additional network-based storage applications for its Channelink products, and the Company's existing $7 million OEM agreement with IBM, the Company believes revenue in 1996 will increase when compared to 1995. GROSS PROFIT For the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, the gross profit margins from product sales were 63% and 64%, respectively, as compared to 72% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 1995. The decrease in gross profit margins from product sales for both the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, when compared to the same periods of 1995, primarily resulted from lower margin OEM sales of the Company's channel connectivity controller to IBM, a decrease in higher margin software sales as a percentage of total product sales, and increased charges for inventory obsolescence. As a result of worldwide competition, and the continued OEM sale of the Company's channel connectivity controller to IBM, the Company anticipates that its gross profit margin percentage from product sales will be somewhat lower for the remainder of 1996 when compared to the same periods of 1995. The anticipated decrease in the gross profit margin percentage from product sales for the remainder of 1996 will be somewhat offset if the Company's new investments in the sale, marketing and engineering of its Brixton products result in an increase in the percentage of product sales coming from the Company's higher margin Brixton software products. Actual gross profit margins on product sales in 1996 will depend on a number of factors, including the mix of products, market acceptance of the Brixton product line, the relative amount of products sold through indirect distribution channels, the requirement to pay licensing fees for the right to use certain technology, and the level of continuing price competition. For the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, gross profit margins from service fees were 25% and 23%, respectively, as compared to 22% and 19%, respectively, for the same periods of 1995. The increase in gross profit margins from service fees resulted from a steadily increasing base of customers having installed Channelink and Brixton products covered by maintenance contracts, which provide economies of scale. The Company anticipates that it will continue to make additional investments in its service business, particularly to support the Brixton product line. As a result of this increased investment, the Company currently anticipates that gross profit margins from its service business for the remainder of 1996 will be somewhat lower when compared to the second quarter of 1996. 10 SPECIAL CHARGES In connection with the management reorganization announced by the Company in December 1995, the Company issued a common equity put option to a former officer and director. The Company has adjusted compensation expense in the current period, and will be required to adjust compensation expense in future periods, as the market price of its common stock increases or decreases until such time as the Company has no remaining obligation under the common equity put option. For the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, engineering and development expense has been reduced by $672,000 and $987,000, respectively, due to the increase in the market price of the Company's common stock, and termination of a portion of the Company's obligation under the common equity put option. OPERATING EXPENSES During the second quarter and first half of 1996, the Company continued to expand its sales and marketing organizations, with a particular emphasis on new employees dedicated to the Brixton product line. Sales and marketing expenses increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 by 33% and 49%, respectively, when compared to the same periods of 1995. The increases for both the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 were primarily attributable to an increase in commission expense, due to the higher level of sales during 1996, and an increase in compensation, travel and other expenses associated with the continued expansion of the Company's sales organization. The increases for both periods were somewhat offset by lower product evaluation expense. The Company anticipates that sales and marketing expenses will be higher through the remainder of 1996 when compared to the same period of 1995 due to the expense associated with the additional sales and marketing employees hired in recent quarters. Engineering and development costs, primarily consisting of compensation and related fringe benefits, depreciation, and consulting expenses related to new product development and enhancements to existing products increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, by 37% and 32%, respectively, when compared to the same periods of 1995 and excluding the impact of the previously discussed common equity put option. The increase for both periods is primarily attributable to increases in compensation expense, related fringe benefits and engineering prototype materials. Engineering and development expenses, excluding the impact of the common equity put option, were 15% of total revenue for both the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to 13% and 14% of total revenue, respectively, for the same periods of 1995. The Company anticipates investing approximately 15% of total revenue on engineering and development in 1996 (excluding the impact of the common equity put option), which includes investments in current and future products. The Company believes a sustained high level of investment is essential to customer satisfaction and future revenue. General and administrative expenses increased by 32% and 31% during the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, when compared to the same periods of 1995. The increases are primarily attributable to increases in recruiting and related costs associated with recruiting a new Chief Executive Officer, executive compensation, and employee severance. General and administrative expenses were 8% of total revenue for both the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to 7% of total revenue during the same periods of 1995. The Company anticipates that general and administrative expenses will be approximately 7% of total revenue in 1996. 11 The Company recorded a provision for income taxes at an effective rate of 35% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to 38% during the same periods of 1995. The Company currently anticipates that its effective tax rate for the remainder of 1996 will be approximately 35%. FINANCIAL CONDITION LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company has historically financed its operations through the private and public sales of equity securities, bank borrowings under lines of credit, capital equipment leases, and cash generated from operations. Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities at June 30, 1996, totaled $33.7 million, an increase of $5.3 million during the first six months of 1996. This increase resulted from cash provided from operations of $6.7 million, financing activities of $1.5 million (primarily consisting of proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options), partially offset by the effects of exchange rate changes and cash used for investing in property and equipment, field support spares and other assets of $2.9 million. Expenditures for capital equipment and field support spares have been, and will likely continue to be, a significant capital requirement. The Company plans to continue to invest aggressively in productivity tools for its employees and in its field support spares. The Company believes that its current balances of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, when combined with anticipated cash flow from operations, will be adequate to fund its operating plans and meet its currently anticipated aggregate capital requirements, at least through 1997. However, if the Company does not generate revenue as expected or incurs unanticipated expenses, or needs additional investment funds to react to changes in its marketplace, it may need additional capital earlier or in amounts greater than would otherwise be required. The Company believes that inflation has not had a material impact on its operations or liquidity to date. FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed above are forward looking statements, including expected 1996 revenue levels and revenue growth, gross profit margin percentages, and expense levels, made under the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All forward looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. In addition to the factors discussed above, other factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those described, including market acceptance of the Brixton products; availability of new employees experienced in the Brixton marketplace; growth and timing of new applications for the Company's Channelink products, particularly in the area of network-based storage; the successful expansion of distribution channels for products through OEM's and others; the continuing availability of necessary intellectual property licenses on commercially reasonable terms; changes in general economic conditions; cost and availability of components; and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. In addition, the markets for the Company's products 12 are characterized by significant competition, and the Company's results may be adversely affected by the actions of existing or future competitors, including the development of new technologies, the introduction of new products, and the reduction of prices by such competitors to gain or retain market share. 13 PART II.
